Anytime. ;)

In my trusty P-38J

About 320nm out, approx. 54 minutes

I've posted a few pics from my PGUA run in the sceenshots forum.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=184487&page=I should have started with more fuel. I had wing tanks at 65% and fusalage tank at 10%. The P-51H is fast but more thirsty than I expected. When I was 200 miles out of Saipan I realized that I could not make it. Good thing Anderson was close.Jeff W

One of my best landings in the P-38J :)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/105250.jpg

starting FS for the leg to Tokyo.My comp crashed out on me, looks like there's something wrong with a USB device that caused illegal data to be transmitted over the USB subsystes (but which device, I only have a dozen attached).Had this once or twice before, never been able to reproduce conclusively.
